I did everything they say helps.
I left my good job.
I moved to a different city in a different country.
I gave the chance to new life experiences.
I even became a vegetarian…
Impossible.
This is exactly what comes to my mind when I think about my
mission to succeed.
The more I try, the more I fail.
My conclusion?
This kind of books will tell you what you secretly want to hear.
“You can do it.”
That's one of the reasons why the eastern philosophies are now so popular bestsellers in the western world.

There is only one condition, one little pressure included in that price; you can do it but only “today”…
I might not agree and let me explain you why.
You can buy a loaf of bread today yet you cannot climb Himalayas mountains today, who can?
Bigger goals require more time.
You will need yesterday when everything had started, then you will continue hiking through today and tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you will finally get to one inhabited village of Himalayas. Obviously, your climbing hasn't finished here ...
Reading deeper, I found many contrasting things like these, so I started to doubt about the motivational books.
After this consideration, I needed to change my point of view. Again.

I left another kind of life sucking job.
I resumed my life into a backpack and travelled.
I decided to have time instead of money.
Time is good but not when you have to think about your life.
Feeling like a nomad searching for food and water, I was visiting
each city with the hope to find something mystic.
I tried to observe, listen and be open.
Nothing special happened, though.
I felt quite disappointed.
I did something and expected a reward.
That was the wrong lesson from the wrong book.
I made another decision and moved.
I went back.
Yes, I gave a second chance to an ex.
And what lesson have I learnt?
You can break up with people and things yet you can never split up
with yourself.
You don't need time to think, you need time to do the things.
Today is not the only day you can do something.
Give yourself more chances and opportunities.
Whether it is in the city or in the wild, the story is always about
you.
You can't run away forever.
Remember that your origins have a lot to say about you.

Get the most from the school of life:
- Learn how to heal your wounds and move on.
- Learn to share your life with those who are worth it.
- Learn that home is not a fixed place, it's a constant journey.
Sometimes what is possible for others, might be impossible for you.
I realised that life challenges actually shape people into the incredible beings.
Maybe you still didn't get what you wanted.
It doesn't matter, the side effect of human beings is that we always want something and never can conform with anything.
By the time, enjoy the journey in between which is what actually matters because we spend 90% of our time on the journey and 10% in the destination.
So just slow down because once you have reached your destination or goal, I am pretty sure that you will be shortly preparing a new adventure.
Possible or not, I say give yourself plenty of new chances and stay connected with your origins. This urban zen philosophy worked for me better than dozens of motivational books. Basically it's about to get the most from the school of life while doing a lot of practice.

P.S.: If you can't change it, then nomad it.

I think there is arising a new evolved urban generation, I dare to call it the "nomad in the city".
It's somehow becoming a new way of living in harmony with the urban background while keeping alive the free wild side of your human nature.Possible or not, I say give yourself plenty of new chances and stay connected with your origins.
